There are as many designers as there are opinions but Charlene has to research this or hire a researcher.Afterall she is hgoing to enetr and the comparison made to her mother in law. Armani may just be too severe.Others too heavy- so Charlene has her task cut out for her- hire a consultant to bring twenty five sketches a day. I always loved the sartorial Andre Laug. but have no idea what his wedding dresses look like now.

I personally think a year is a good time to wait, planning a wedding is never easy and especially a royal one with all the protocol to follow, and 800 guests and everything has to look perfect, and planning all the pre and post wedding events can be stressful and one year will be a good amount of time to plan it all. :)

Waiting until next Summer doesn't bother me, after to having to wait over a year for Victoria's. But I would like it to be a September/ October wedding, they do not have to follow the six month protocol.

I hope Farha Diba and family are invited to the Grimaldi wedding as they were in absentia from the Swedish nuptuals and I know how close they are to the Grimaldis. Farah could advise Charlene on fashion[great elegance] that is for certain as she was once in a similar position when she was about to marry the Shah of Iran and more than proved herself.

A year is not too long, quite the opposite, because Charlene wil still have to learn a lot. And the diaries of other royal families will be so full already that they may have difficulties attending the Monaco wedding.
